Olivia wrapped her arms around herself tightly.


    Tyler, realizing he had lost control, quickly regained hisposure. "Sorry. I must have scared you," he


    murmured, releasing her arms gently.


    She moved off hisp with effort and sat silently next to him, the quiet stretching between them.


    Tyler massaged his forehead and muttered to himself, "Well, well, well. Good thing you reminded me I


    drank. I almost fell for this trap she set for me." Olivia had been holding herself protectively ever since


    she moved away from him. Later, she quietly rested a hand on her baby bump.


    Tyler put his hands on his knees.


    Time seemed to stand still. Olivia kept looking down, her lips pale, and she didn''t respond to anything.


    Tyler took a deep breath. "Look, I''m sorry about all this. Please ask the maid to put some ointment on


    those mosquito bites."


    Olivia tried to sound calm. "I will."


    The effects of the alcohol had worn off. The brief closeness it brought was gone, and they were distant


    once again.

    Ana had indeed orchestrated this. She was aware of her son''s actions and was unhappy that he had


    been ignoring his pregnant wife.


    She believed a couple should spend more time together. Even in her condition, Olivia could still


    threaten her son''s resolve.


    Ana smiled to herself, pleased with her scheming.


    "What are you smiling about?" Maisy inquired, noticing Ana''s good mood.


    "Nothing. Just waiting for them toe home."


    Maisy was surprised. "Tyler went out with Olivia?"


    "Yes."


    Maisyughed. "Good! Nobody can resist someone as adorable as Olivia."


    It was midnight. Ana, sipping tea, suggested, "You should go to bed."


    Maisy, who had taken a long nap earlier, wasn''t very tired but agreed anyway. "Alright then!"


    The maid escorted a chuckling Maisy from the living room.


    After Maisy left, Ana heard the distant sound of a car and looked out the window.

    Inside the car, neither Olivia nor Tyler spoke until Tyler finally said, "You should get off. I''m going to


    Sandalwood Pce tonight."


    It was obvious Tyler was trying to control his urges. Olivia listened quietly and then opened the door.
